Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure can make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
