Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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