Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
