Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
