Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
