Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling 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, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
