Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the whole nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. 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 utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
