Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect these gaps and access the building.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this manner, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
