Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and again access the property.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though 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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
