Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the breaks and again access the house.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Environmentally smart
