Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
