Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access problems, the white ants can detect the breaks and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not 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 the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
