Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
