Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been eating up to now. 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.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
