Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
