Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense the gaps and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites in your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house will make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all the family & pets
