Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and again access the home.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building makes it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
