There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places cannot be treated because of access problems, then white ants will identify the breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
