Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites will identify the breaks and gain access through those areas.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all the family & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Indications You Have A Termite Infestation

• Small holes found in drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and breaking down
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on timber, floor boards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in subfloor areas
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites or alates may be seen swarming from the colony

How Problematic Are Termites?
