Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits
