Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
