Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even when you don’t 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.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather
• No danger to children & pets
