Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The regularly widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position 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 observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
