Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and access the property.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

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

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, however they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all the family including pets
