Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and again access the building.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, 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.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all your family including pets
