Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and access the property.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes serious enough, the dwelling could become unusable.
