Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and once again access the house.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
