Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the termites may identify the gaps and gain access via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Ecologically Smart
