Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites can identify the gaps and attain access via those areas.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
