Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
