Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
