Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
