Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
