Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these gaps and access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically friendly
