Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets
