Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

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

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest 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.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
