Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 rather than 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.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
