Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even if you don’t 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
