Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these breaks and access the building.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
