Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
