Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling makes it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
