Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling makes it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Safe for all the family & pets
