Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
