Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. 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 continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
