Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
