Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The regularly commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
