Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house makes it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
