Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places cannot be treated because of access difficulties, the termites will identify the breaks and gain ingress through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be 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 invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
