Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property 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 timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
