Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 fashion, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Baiting System Advantages

• Not influenced by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Green
