Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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