Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them once again.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Environmentally sound
