Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
