Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect these gaps and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
