Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits
