Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying around the nest
