Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated due to access issues, the white ants can detect those gaps and gain ingress via them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, however they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
