Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and once again access the building.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not 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 Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Ecologically friendly
