Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap 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 ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
