Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and access the building.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even though you don’t 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 are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
