Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The often commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
