Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

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

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
