Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even when 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 are employed in a similar way, however they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children & pets
