Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and access the property.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even when 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 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 particularly helpful when the layout of a swelling can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
