Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access issues, then white ants may detect those gaps and attain access through them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even if 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 are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
