Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the breaks and access the home.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Ecologically Smart
