Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and once again access the home.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

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

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
