Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
