Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
