Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

In this manner, the whole nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
