Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting 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 the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite 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 residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
