Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
