Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when 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 often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
