Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
