Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
