Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony 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 that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
