Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated due to access issues, the termites may detect the breaks and gain access through them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting until recently. 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 manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
