Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t 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 are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
