Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly

What Damage Can Termites Cause?
