Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even if you do not 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home makes it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
