Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
