Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
