Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants may identify the breaks and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even though you don’t 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.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
