Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a house, 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 they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
