Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the 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 eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
