Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these breaks and again access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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 pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

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 particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
