Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places cannot be treated because of access problems, then white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important 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 are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
