Termite Control & Protection

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
