Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some places cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants can detect those breaks and gain access through them.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for children and pets
• Green
