Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
