Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

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

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