Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
