This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are employed in a similar fashion, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
