Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

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

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
