Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
