Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

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

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 termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

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