Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
