Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and again access the property.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
