Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were infesting until now. 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.

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

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
