Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
