There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites may detect the gaps and attain access through them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they were infesting previously. 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 the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when 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.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
