Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break 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 ingress.

The regularly frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of if 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 white ant activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar way, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
