Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Environmentally smart
