Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and access the home.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
