Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
