Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
