Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

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

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
