Typically, in Auburn, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building can make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
