Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than 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 nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly 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 around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
