Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally Friendly
