Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Baiting System Advantages
