Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location 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 addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
