Termites are social insects that are designed for survival. They do not act as individuals within the nest but more like a whole organism, where each one will sacrifice itself for the sake of the whole colony. As such they are not easy to get rid of and it is not a matter of simply spraying them with an insecticide. Treatment for termites must be handled by a professional pest controller, who is an expert in locating and eliminating the problem

The trouble with termites is that if your home contains untreated or non-resistant wood, they may just like your house as much as you do! They have no qualms about moving in rent-free. With colonies containing many thousands or millions of termites, they have the capacity to wreak untold damage on your beloved habitat. That’s why getting proper and prompt treatment for termites is so vital.

Treatment for termites includes

Coopex Dust

This product is used in trees or tree stumps to eradicate nests, by attacking the nervous system of the insects. This treatment for termites is effective for up to 6 months and is environmentally degradable.

Eflex

Eflex treatment for termites is designed for use as slow-working toxic bait. Social feeding habits mean that the toxin is spread throughout the colony, and eradication may take from two to six months. Baits depend on the termites being attracted to them and for that reason they are often used in conjunction with another treatment for termites such as a chemical barrier.

Sentricon

This option for the treatment for termites is also used as bait, and has two components –above-ground and in-ground termite baits. It is a low-toxic product for humans and pets, but very toxic to termites. It usually takes around six months to complete the job.

Termidor

Termidor is a very effective and highly recommended chemical barrier treatment for termites, which may eliminate termite activity within a few weeks in some cases. It has a very low environmental impact, being harmless to plants and soil micro-organisms. It may cost more than another treatment for termites but it may stamp out your termite problem much more quickly.
