Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these breaks and once again access the home.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
