Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and again access the building.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
