Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on result.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

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