Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and again access the house.

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite 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 as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
