Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
