Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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 manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, but they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
