Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and again access the house.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling will make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
