Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children or pets
• Environmentally sound

• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony
