Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites in the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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