Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
