Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect these gaps and again access the property.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites in the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on result.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house will make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
