Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some places cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then termites may identify those breaks and attain access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon 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 nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
