Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or places cannot be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants will detect the breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
