Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated due to access issues, the termites will detect those breaks and attain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses 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.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest 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 they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure will make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for kids and pets
