Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

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

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest 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 activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
