You can find different types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
