Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and once again access the building.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest 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 new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house will make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
