Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
