Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can 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 instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even if 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
