Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and once again access the building.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house will make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
