Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even though you don’t 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 utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building will make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Poor weather does not impact control
