Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
