Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access issues, the white ants will identify the breaks and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
