Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and again access the property.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Because the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used 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 structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
