Termite Control/Protection Systems

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, 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 that 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 the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when 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 Systems are employed in a similar way, however they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
