Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
