Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding result.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
