Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants will detect those breaks and attain ingress through them.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

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

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
