Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain access.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through 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 generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
