Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access problems, the termites may detect the breaks and attain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

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

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases 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 to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home makes it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
