Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor places can not be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants will detect the breaks and attain ingress through them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing 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 isn’t known.

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
