Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
