Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants may identify those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your home by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Friendly
