Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
