Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

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

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

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Ecologically sound
