Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically friendly

• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Termite nests & mounds in trees near the dwelling
• Winged termites (or alates) can be seen swarming from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Do?
