Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the breaks and once again access the home.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
