Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been 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 that bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
