Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building can make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
