Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these gaps and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even when you do not 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 generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
