Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Environmentally smart
