Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense the gaps and once again access the house.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

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

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
