Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and again access the property.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
