Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
