Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
