Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even though 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
