Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family including pets
