Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and once again access the house.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

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

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
