Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home makes it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
