Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and once again access the house.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
