Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure will make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
