Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and once again access the building.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house can make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
