Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access through non-treated gaps is far lower.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 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 termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, but they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
