Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect the breaks and again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even when 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling can make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
