Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Ecologically friendly
