Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
