Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally Smart
