Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

The most widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to children or pets
• An environmentally smart solution
