Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
