Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
