Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The regularly widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not 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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
