Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants may detect the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
