Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system

• Safe for all your family including pets
• Eco-friendly
