Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and again access the building.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Eco-friendly

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?
