Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated because of access issues, the white ants may identify the breaks and attain ingress through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
