Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
