Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
