Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
