Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting 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 the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
