Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. 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 are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Environmentally Smart
