Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect these breaks and again access the property.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

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

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
