Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them once again.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony 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 continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
