Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly 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 a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
