Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
