Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may also pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
