Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding effect.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
