Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and again access the house.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites in your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
