Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect these breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This 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 nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Environmentally Friendly
