Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated because of access problems, the termites will detect the breaks and gain ingress via them.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though 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 Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
