Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense the gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
