Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
