Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than 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.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
