Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
