Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony 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 observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
