Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
