Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
