Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
