Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and access the property.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Green
