Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites in your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building can make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
