Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

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

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
