Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• Ecologically sound
