Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants may identify those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after 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.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
