Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can’t be treated because of access issues, then white ants will identify the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites from the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Eco-friendly
