Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
