Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated because of access issues, then termites may detect the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting previously. 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 other colony members.

In this fashion, the whole nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home makes it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
