Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the home.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony 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 activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
