Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the breaks and once again access the property.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber 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 that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

An In Ground System is used in a similar way, but they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
