Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect the gaps and access the building.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
