Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and once again access the house.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
