Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
