Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites in your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding result.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a structure can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
