Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure can make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen leaving the colony
