Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

As 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 less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
