Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home 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 wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
