Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if 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 can identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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