Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger to children or pets
• Ecologically smart
