Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
