Termite Control/Protection Processes

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations can not be treated due to access difficulties, then termites may detect those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest 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 another area.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
