Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect the breaks and again access the property.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites from your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
