Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to 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 entire nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, but they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
