Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even when you do not 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
