Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and access the home.

The regularly commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed 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 residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children or pets
• Ecologically friendly
