Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
