Control & Protection Against Termites

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Cheltenham every year, making termite control so important.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding effect.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally friendly
