Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places can’t be treated because of access issues, the white ants can detect those breaks and attain ingress through them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Control 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home makes it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
