Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access problems, then termites may detect those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
