Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas can not be treated because of access issues, the white ants will detect those breaks and gain access via those areas.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

The entire nest may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
