Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating up to now. 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 the bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
