Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and once again access the building.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

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

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
