Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling can make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
