Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will often pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
