Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated due to access issues, the termites may detect the gaps and attain ingress via them.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when you do not 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 are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
