Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against 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 can identify these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
