Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
