Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
