Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable 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.
