Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even if you do not 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home can make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
