Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

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

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging 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 creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling will make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
