Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites from the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

What Damage Can Termites Do?
