Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally Friendly
