Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding effect.

Ongoing 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 exterminated even if its location is unknown.

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 catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for children and pets
• Ecologically Smart
