Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and again access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house can make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
