Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places can not be treated because of access problems, the white ants will identify the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems
