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 areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the breaks and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite 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 particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally Smart
