Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants 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 nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
