Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
