Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and once again access the property.

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can 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.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure can make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
