Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Eco-friendly
