Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and access the property.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

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

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
