Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

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

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
