Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
