Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the breaks and again access the building.

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan 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 pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
