Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
