Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure will make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
