Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
