Termite Protection & Treatment

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when 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 potentially get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
