Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
