Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and once again access the property.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 instead of 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 eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest 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 activity.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
