Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

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