Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
