Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
