Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house can make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
