Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is 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 may discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses 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 white ants 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 observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
