Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and access the house.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will 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.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution
