Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to children & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
