Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on effect.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
