There are several types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Prairiewood, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
