Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

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

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Eco-friendly
