Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
• Eco-friendly
