Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

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

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