Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and again access the building.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 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 nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
