Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the home.

The regularly widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, however they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children & pets
• Eco-friendly
