Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
