Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as 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, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
