Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even when 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
