Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Environmentally smart
