Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
