Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you don’t 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
