Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor areas can not be treated because of access issues, the white ants will identify the gaps and gain ingress via them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
