Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even when you don’t 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
