Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can 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 may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
