Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite 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 therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
