Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around 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 termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
