Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites in the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

In this fashion, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Impervious to weather conditions
