Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
