Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a swelling will make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically Smart
