Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases 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 they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family & pets
