Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning 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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
