Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and once again access the property.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning 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 nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position 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 they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
