Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t 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 used in a similar way, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
