Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants can identify those gaps and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
