Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
• Ecologically friendly
