Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
