Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some locations can not be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants can detect the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
