Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
