Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they were infesting 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 further colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of alates flying from the termite nest
