Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants can identify the gaps and attain ingress through them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
