Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants will identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not 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.

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

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
