Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• An environmentally smart solution
