Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and access the home.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
