Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. 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.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
