Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building can make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
• Eco-friendly

The Telltale Signs Of Termite Infestation

There are many signs that your property has a white ant infestation:

• Little holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged or disintegrating
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
