Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills the termites that ingest 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.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically friendly

• Minute holes in drywall and timber
• Damaged or collapsing timber
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites or alates can be noticed leaving the nest
