Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home makes it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
