Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
