Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning 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.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
