Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
