Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect the breaks and once again access the house.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 utilised in a similar way, however they are frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
