Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants 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 nest can be erradicated, even when you do not 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger for kids & pets
• Eco-friendly
