Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain entry.

The often frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house will make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
