Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and again access the home.

The regularly frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

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 sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building can make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
