Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location 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 observed activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
