Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

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

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
