Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house will make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• Eco-friendly
