Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
