Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?
