Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even though you don’t 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.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
