Termite Control & Protection

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

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

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure will make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger to children & pets
