Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the house.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
