Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and again access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, 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 white ant activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
