Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been 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 that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
