Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
