Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

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

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
