Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, 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.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
