Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Continuing 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 colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
