Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated due to access issues, then white ants will detect the gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
