Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building will make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
