Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if you don’t 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 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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly
