Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites from the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
