Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even when you do not 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 are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
