Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
