Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the gaps and again access the home.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
