Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even when 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 used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger for kids & pets

• Wood in the building has holes

• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming around the colony
