Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
