Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and access the house.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
