Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and again access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
