Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas can not be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants can identify the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

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

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around 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.
