Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas can’t be treated because of access issues, the termites will detect the breaks and attain ingress through them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this fashion, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
