Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for youngsters and pets
