Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they won’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
