Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you do not 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 are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
