Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
