Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The regularly widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
