Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
