Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite 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 a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically friendly
