Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
