Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The often frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

A commonly 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 property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
