Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
