Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly
