This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite control in Allawah residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 design of a house can make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
