Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense the breaks and again access the home.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding effect.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building will make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
