Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense the breaks and once again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used 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 swelling makes it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
