Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 enticing the termites 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 flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even if 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
