Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are 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.

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

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
