Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
