Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Various Termite 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 instead of 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 manner, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building will make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
