Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites may detect those gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing 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 exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
