Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing 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 termites 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 destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
