Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though 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 are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
