Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The often frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to children or pets
• An environmentally smart solution
