Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
