Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar fashion, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
