Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The regularly frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly
