Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The regularly frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house can make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
