Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and access the property.

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
