Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these breaks and access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly
