Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these gaps and access the house.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
