Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on result.

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

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Ecologically Friendly
