Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these breaks and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
