Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and access the house.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this manner, the entire colony can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home makes it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
