Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
