Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
