Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access issues, the white ants will identify the gaps and attain access via them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home will make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
