Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

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

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Environmentally friendly
