Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify these gaps and access the property.

The most frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
