Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these breaks and access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
