Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as 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 identify these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
