Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
