Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and again access the home.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
