Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and access the house.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony 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 pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
