Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t 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 throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
