Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and once again access the house.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

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

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
