Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around 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 intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
