Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

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

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