Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and again access the house.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

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

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather conditions
