Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
