Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they will not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you do not 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.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
