Removing & Managing Termites

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these breaks and access the house.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
