Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house makes it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
