Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect these gaps and again access the house.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
