Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 used in a similar way, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
