Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be 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 white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this manner, 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 activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home will make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
