Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
