Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even when 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for children and pets
