Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
