Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
