Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the building.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they’re generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
