Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, 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, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
