Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

The regularly commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when 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.

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
