Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify the breaks and access the property.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
