Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and once again access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
