Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your residence 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 timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even though 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
