Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on effect.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
