Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Control 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 tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on result.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
