Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
