Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense the gaps and access the building.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over 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 result.

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

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
