Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
