Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and access the home.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
