Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they do not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

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