Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
