Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and access the home.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is used in a similar way, however they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
