Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after 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 unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
