Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and again access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
