Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and again access the home.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
