Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the breaks and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 are used in a similar fashion, but they are frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
