Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and again access the building.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating up to now. 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 that bait to other colony members.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
