Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
