Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco-friendly
