Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can identify those gaps and attain ingress through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
