Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they will not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites will move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

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

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been eating 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 other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
