Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

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 they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family & pets
