Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these breaks and again access the building.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
