Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Eco-friendly
