Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

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

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
