Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as 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, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a structure makes it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
