Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
