Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
