Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places cannot be treated because of access issues, the termites can detect the gaps and gain access via those areas.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

An entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
