Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position 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 termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
