Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
