Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

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

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
