Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these gaps and once again access the property.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
