There are various kinds of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Rhodes, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite 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 as opposed to 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.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally sound
