Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even if 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.

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

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Environmentally Smart
