Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location 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 can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
