Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Ecologically smart
