Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and again access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
