Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
