Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are 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 instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

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