Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
