Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated because of access problems, the termites may identify those gaps and attain access via them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• Ecologically smart

Can Termites Badly Damage My Building?
