Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites in the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling will make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
