Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding effect.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
