Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
