Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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.

In this fashion, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
