Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
