Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
