Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco-friendly
