Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even if you do not 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 are utilised 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 layout of a structure makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
