Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when 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 discover the gaps and gain access.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
