Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
