Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants will identify the breaks and gain ingress via them.

The often frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you don’t 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.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
