Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even when you don’t 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home makes it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
