Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
