Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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 encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
