Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

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

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
