Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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