Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and again access the house.

The often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
