Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
