Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or places can’t be treated due to access difficulties, the termites may identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
