Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Eco friendly

• Wood is crumbling or damaged
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
