Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight 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 instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
