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’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 identify the gaps and gain entry.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your home by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
