Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been infesting up to now. 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.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on 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 more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for kids and pets
