Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants can identify those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
