Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

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