Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these gaps and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
