Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building will make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
