Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants may detect the breaks and gain access through those areas.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
