Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect the breaks and access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
