Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas can not be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants will identify the breaks and attain access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a house, 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 have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
