Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding effect.

An entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
