Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

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

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home makes it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
