Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants can detect those gaps and attain access via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this fashion, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
