Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Not affected by weather
