Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or locations can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t 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 area.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
