Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants may detect those breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Environmentally Smart
