Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify these breaks and access the house.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally Smart
