Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The often frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even when 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
