Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move 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 that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
