Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t 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 manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution

• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
