Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest 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 Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
