Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access problems, then termites can detect those breaks and attain ingress via them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were infesting 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 then feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
