Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
