Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access via them.

The often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
