Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated because of access problems, then white ants can identify those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Eco-friendly
