Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home makes it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for children & pets
