Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
