Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home can make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
