Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these gaps and again access the house.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

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

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Environmentally Friendly
