Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these breaks and again access the property.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were 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.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for youngsters & pets
