Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor places cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants may detect the breaks and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure makes it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
