Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or places cannot be treated due to access problems, then termites will detect those gaps and attain access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
