Termite Protection & Treatment

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated due to access issues, the white ants can detect the gaps and attain access through them.

The often commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Eco-friendly
