Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the 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 catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
