Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t 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 usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
