Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
