Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure can make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
