Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
