Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Eco-friendly
