Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on result.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building can make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Ecologically smart
