Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
