Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home 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 wood. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

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

Baiting System Advantages

• Unimpacted by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
