Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap 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 is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
