Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat 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.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home can make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
