Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
