Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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