Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and again access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
