Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
